CH. 04 -- CELEBRATION-ENGAGEMENT:
Prologue:
This is CH. 04 of my first erotic story and Literotica submission. I continue being indebted to Candy_Kane54 for providing editing, style advice, and general encouragement for my writing "Lost Girls Find Life."
Our story portrays "Love of Life and Lesbian Romance," however it is not an actual sex story. There will be sex in some chapters. Remember the girls' closing statement in CH. 01, which was "When Absolute Love Arrives," sex is certain to follow!
CONTINUED FUN WEEKEND:
After they cuddled and rested most of Saturday afternoon, the girls met for dinner in the early evening. They were dressed casually in skirts and tops, although planning to order dinner in. Jai had communicated with her mom, Sarah, while Pam had updated her and '2's' parents regarding their weekend activities.
The four girls planned to spend a quiet evening at home, enjoying Japanese food and listening to relaxing music. They usually attended Sunday School and Morning Worship at St. John's on Sundays, followed by any other special church activities being held that day. Their plans for this Sunday were to simply attend the morning service, then immediately return home to discuss life plans for the coming weeks.
Jai and the girls intended to visit Jacksonville for a long weekend of fun once the Group Home was open for six months. At that point, the GPS monitors would be removed from the resident's ankles. This would be quite a busy time for everyone since the Group Home Onsite School, organized by Pam, would cease operations. The young residents would transfer to the fully accredited St. Johns primary day school. The girls would awaken early, wash up and dress in their school uniforms. They would then be shuttled to St. John's for breakfast and morning devotion, followed by their classes. The group home students also had morning and afternoon recess and lunch at St. John's. Dinner was prepared and eaten at their group home each day in the late evening.
The group home students' curriculum was now thoroughly interwoven to St. John's accredited K-06 primary school. Pam and Jenny each taught specialty classes in the primary grades twice weekly. Pam also functioned as the School Dean and Student Advisor. However, she was not always on site. Jai served as the school counselor for all forty-two students.
Allison, '2', Kelly, and a few other elder St. John's youths were bi-weekly guest lecturers for the secondary grades and taught a few classes each month. However, they all had full-time jobs; therefore, they could only devote a limited number of hours to support the school curriculum.
The fifteen Group Home Students were now fully registered in the St. John's Primary School, which increased the total enrollment for the school program to sixty-five students. Pam had set a fairly strict limit of a maximum of seventy total students allowed in the current program due to the limited classroom space presently available. Once the total number of registered students reached seventy, St. John's needed to discuss the feasibility of their expanding the facilities.
All aspects of Jai's reorganizing the Regional JDC into a Group Home for juvenile girls were now functioning smoothly. Her reorganization of this previously inefficient JDC operation also saved the state's taxpayers approximately four hundred thousand dollars annually.
Pam strived to instill and maintain a home-like friendly atmosphere for group home residents; therefore, she created an evening reading and storytelling hour. The girls gathered in the hallways just outside their dorm room doors and were perched on nicely padded wood stools. These very comfortable stools had been designed and constructed by the St. John's maintenance team. Each doorway had a clear view of the second-floor stairs, where the designated reader sat in an elevated chair. Stories were selected by girls and teachers from the group home's reading room Children's books library. These storybooks were provided free from Pam's publisher, which she had negotiated in her editor consulting contract.
Books were read or stories told by Pam, Kelly, Jenny, '2', Jai, and a few other older St. John's youths. Pam prepared a monthly readers schedule, which occasionally included adults from their community. The evening reading hour was a favorite for the girls and readers. On many evenings several elder St. John's youth and adults sat in on the reading and story hour.
STEFF'S VISIT:
Jai contacted Steff, the waitress she and '2' befriended in the Jacksonville (JAX) Mall Hotel's upscale restaurant. This was where Jai and '2' officially became a couple, with Steff being the waitress on their final night in JAX. Jai had promised to contact Steff sometime following their Boston graduation, vacation travel to Attitash, and return to life in N. Florida.
Jai spoke with Steff, intending to plan a JAX visit to go shopping and have fun in the next few weeks, with her, '2', Jenny, and Pam driving over together. However, once they had exchanged a few greetings, Jai noticed Steff sounded a bit down as they spoke before Steff mentioned that she needed a break from JAX. Since Steff seemed a bit depressed and needed a change of scenery, Jai changed her plan and decided to invite Steff to visit them in N. Florida, where she could relax for a few days.
Jai mentioned this idea to Steff, who was very excited with the offer for her to visit them In N. Florida. Steff also said, May I bring my friend Marcie since the drive is a bit long?"
